Although painful nipples are a quite common problem, and usually no object of concern, they may sometimes be symptoms of more serious health conditions. If you experience any nipple discharge, accompanied by a more severe and prolonged nipple pain and fever, consult your doctor to find out the cause.
Listed below are some of the most common reasons why your nipples may hurt.
Breast Development and Puberty
Breast development is one of the first signs of puberty, which is the time of growth and great hormonal changes in the girl’s body. The breast glands and the fat tissue begin to grow and the nipples start to expand and swell.
These hormonal and physical changes may cause breasts and nipples to become very sensitive and painful. When first menstrual periods occur, pain can even increase.
Ovulation
Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of a woman’s menstrual cycle, although it may vary from woman to woman. Many women experience breast and nipple soreness before, during and after ovulation, due to increased levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones.
1. During ovulation, the body begins to prepare itself for possible pregnancy by enlarging the mammary glands (glands that produce milk), and this can cause breast and nipple tenderness and soreness.
2. The raise of the post-ovulation progesterone hormone instead causes water retention in the body. The main reason for this is to prepare the uterus for possible conception and pregnancy and make it ready to host the embryo. In this period the uterus, in fact, becomes full of water and food. Unfortunately, the water is retained also in breast tissues, causing them to stretch and hurt. This is the reason nipples become sore and painful.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone levels continue to increase and this also causes breasts and nipples to become more sensitive and painful.
In fact, high levels of estrogen cause breast enlargement by increasing the amount of breast tissue, while high progesterone levels make breasts fill up with water. All these changes help prepare breasts for lactation.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency are main causes of breast and nipple pain during the PMS. In this period, the progesterone levels in your body are not high enough to balance the estrogen hormones, and this may lead to many physical and psychological disorders.
Elevated levels of estrogen are, in fact, responsible for many PMS symptoms such as mood swings, bloating, cramps, headache, and breast and nipple tenderness.
Menopausal Syndrome
The menopausal syndrome is caused by wildly fluctuating hormone levels, which may lead to many physical and psychological conditions such as breast tenderness, irregular menstruation, hot flashes, headaches, weight gain, bloating, mood changes, etc.
Menopause occurs when the woman permanently stops menstruating and ovulating. In this period of her life, very little amounts of progesterone are produced in the body, while the estrogen overload is quite common. This can cause very painful breast and terribly sore nipples.
However, huge changes that occur in the woman’ body during later menopause will also lead to a significant decrease of estrogen levels, causing other physical and mental stresses that will disappear over time.
Other Factors that May Cause Your Nipples to Hurt
- Jogger’s nipple:
Continuous movement of breasts, as well as the friction of fabric against the nipples may also cause dryness and soreness of nipples. You should always wear bras with proper support!
- Breastfeeding
- Fatty acids imbalance:
An imbalance of fatty acids within cells may lead to breast tissue sensitivity and cause breast pain. In fact, fatty acids imbalances can greatly affect hormonal levels in your body, which in turn can significantly increase breast tenderness.
- Medications (contraceptives, hormone replacement drugs, and certain antidepressants)
- Pain in the heart and chest
- Stress
More serious causes:
More serious causes of nipple pain include specific health disorders such as certain inflammations and infections, and in more severe cases even Paget’s disease and cancer.
Paget’s disease of the breast, also known as Paget’s disease of the nipple, is a rare type of breast cancer that is characterized by soreness, redness, pain and itching of the nipples and the surrounding area. It is often associated with an underlying breast cancer and it rarely affects only the nipple. It is a rather rare disease, but if you however experience any of the above mentioned symptoms, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Experiencing nipple pain can be uncomfortable and concerning, but there are several potential causes and remedies to consider. Common reasons for nipple pain include friction from clothing or exercise, hormonal changes during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or skin conditions such as eczema. To alleviate the discomfort, try wearing soft, breathable fabrics, applying soothing creams or balms, and ensuring proper hydration. If the pain persists or is accompanied by unusual symptoms like discharge or lumps, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. Taking care of your body and being attentive to its signals is essential for maintaining overall well-being.
Hopefully this post has helped you learn a little bit more about possible causes of breast and nipple pain, as well as understand that it is a very common and normal problem among many women. In most cases, it is really no cause for worry. If you have any thoughts or concerns to share, please let us know in the comment section below.
I’m experiencing nipple pain and when I lay on my right side my left side hurts. What could this mean?
I had exactly the same thing this morning. The pain was really bad it was like a pinching pain. Im peri menopausal but im also still mensturating and im due my period in a week so i thought that maybe its a combination of all these making my nipples hyper sensitive and that ive probably lain on them and/knocked them some way &thats whats caused the pain.
I dont know what wrong just go to the doctor
My nipples are really sore and they are brown I don’t understand ?
What might cause this because some people a scaring me by telling me that am pregnant.
You have never had sex with a guy, no sperm has entered the v area … There’s no way that could be possible. (Being Prego)
I’m also experiencing the same thing .and I do suspect that I’m pregnant my periods are 3days late and I don’t have any of my PMS.I will test so should u
Mine too are painful my nipple’s im not in my periods or so on i evaluated last week so what wrong no attitude plz really need help ill be happy if i am pregnant
My nipples are sore like wen i get n the shower and i wash my chest off they hurt i dontvknow whats wrong they hurt really bad
Has this been happening everytime you lay down?
If not, I would consider it being growing pains every now and than. You can ask your doctor about this. My nipples have been hurting too, but not when I lay down. My nipples have become very sensitive. For example; I got punched in my nipple. Now that, would be very painful. My nipples have also thickened, which bothers me badly, but I know it’s signs of puberty. It could be signs of puberty to you also. If you ever have your period, it can grow to more pain. I’m guessing that your nipples arw thickening if you haven’t hit puberty yet.
My right boob it always been bigger, but is been like two days that my nipples been hurting mis sensible when I touch it.. Am scar what can it be??
I have the same problem right now it started yesterday. My right tit is bigger than the left and so my nipple hurts but i can feel a little( tension hurt)and its probably because i been feeling cramps its would b cause am almost getting my raggg (period)= .
Anything possibly, maybe menoplause. And everybody has a bigger boob.
My nipples hart all the time and so dos my belly i dont no why
Did u ever find cuse I am haveing the same pain
Its two weeks now my nipples have been painfull and they black black in coulor
You might be pregnant dear
Go to the doctor! If your nipples hurt for more than 2 weeks it means something is wrong. Make sure to get your breast checked for cancer and anything else.
It has really bin a long tym since my breast aches and stretch.
I have visited d hospital not just once but d doctor told me that nothing was wrong but up till now i still experience d pain.
What do i do
Hun.., If you feel there is something wrong, it NEVER hurts to get more than one opinion. You make the decision on whether or not to “worry”, not a doc. if you get three opinions, and learn its nothing , THEN you can follow docs advise NOT TO WORRY..lol..its weird , to me,whenever im told NOT to worry, without explaining a cause .
When it comes to self healthy
IT IS better to be safe than sorry…….worst case?..(if the doc is correct, and no health issue needs concern)..your wrong, and you learned, yet one more thing,about your body.
its about two weeks after my ovulation , i hd cramps breast enlargement , nipple soreness , skin allerg , sleepness and sometime headache i don kmow why
hey my nipples hve been sore 4 a couple of weeks an they are painful when i move my clothes i was breastfeeding an now i cant coz its 2 tender an also iv got a cut on the nipple its dischrg s browny i thnk an doesnt smell very nyce what can that be
Go to the doctor! It sounds like you could have an infection!
Mastitis is what that sounds like to me. I breastfeed and once the nipple is injured you can get an infection.
My nipple started hurting last week and they are so sore. I tried putting ice on them but they still hurt. Any advice?
Seeing puberty can also cause this,will it ever stop? Like when u stop growing..

I have the same thing. But I don’t have normal periods. Have them every other month or two months. Ur boobs are just growing. U don have breast cancer. But if it makes u feel safer, ask ur mom to take u to a doctor or OBGYN where they can check ur breast. I go and they always check and let me know. So I’m sure nothings wrong. Ur just developing more

Hi, I’m 15 going on 16 and my nipples have been hurting very badly for the past few hours. I haven’t had a period in about half a year and I’m a virgin so I know I’m not pregnant. Even moving around hurts them. What should I do? — Kailee
hi. just recently, i experienced the hurt on my right nipple. i am scared because this is the first time i feel this. I am 30 years old, with one child. Is there something i can use to ease the pain? like ointment or whatever?
hello, it’s me again, annabelle. Could it be possible that my nipple hurt because it is always been accidentally kicked by my one year old when we play or when he bumps his head to my chest.
My nipple have been hurting for the past 2wks, I’m not sure on why if I haven’t had sex since Feb and I’m on the Merina birth control. It’s like they hurt more at night than they do during the day. I do have a 15m old but I only breast fed the first 2m.
My boyfriend and i had AMAZING sex yesterday and now my nipples are hurting for no reason and earlier my stomach was hurting so bad that if felt like someone was punching me HARD in it, could i be pregnant? i mean he wore a condom and he pulled out when he came…
noo. you wouldn’t experience the pain that soon. but just so you know, pulling out doesnt prevent pregnancy. pre cum (before actual ejaculation) can get you pregnant as well!
its wayyyy to soon to know i mean u just had sex it will be a while before u know because side effects do not start the next day it takes a while
I’m going 70 years old this 15 july. I ‘m experiencing pain from the immediate base of and my nipple (both left and right).It began on the second week of April’13. Is this something that I should be so concerned? Please advise. Thanks a lot.
I will be 60 in a couple weeks and still having regular periods. And my boobs and nipples really hurt. And itch!! i’m very uncomfortable.
I’m 42, my nipples are extremely sensitive for 3 weeks now. I’m not pregnant, I see small lumps, pain is strong, I am worried, this week I will go see a doctor. Nipple cancer scares me. Now for me I could be the start of menopause or maybe and infection since I pluck my Ariola hairs.
If you are a teen with pain it’s hormonal changes. Pregnancy is also a possibility.
For woman in the 40-50’s it can be menopause.
In the 60-70-80 if there is pain……that is a sign that something is not normal.
WE MUST ALL CONSULT A DOCTOR

Is it possible for your nipples to hurt and to be very painful if you have stopped using birth control? I have been using birth control for about a year and I ran out at the beginning of last month, so I have been off/out of it for a while, would that have anything to do with my nipple pain/ soreness? Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated, Thank You! ^_^
usually when your nipples hurt its because they are starting to grow

I’m a 47 year old woman with two grown children. Sometimes my top irritates my nipples. They are tender to touch and I really hope nothing is wrong.
I’m 17 and me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex about a week ago he pulled out before he was going to cum but my nipples feel really sore and iv been having headaches and not feeling so good . Any ideas?
you may be pregnant or you period may be about to come on. your nipples can hurt for a while before your period comes.
I know this doesn’t relate as much but I have gone off birth control (the combined pill) hopefully for good as it was causing me dizziness. I was on it for two years and had unprotected sex a couple of weeks ago, which only lasted for a minute and my partner did not ejaculate inside me, but I was worried so took the emergency pill the next day. However I have been experiencing breast tenderness, a little bit of frequent urination and a tiny blood spot. As I have gone off the pill I don’t know when to expect my period, could I be pregnant? :S
I`m also having nipple pain/sensitivity on both, but more on the left one….ouch!
I`m not a doctor so I would recommend getting in touch with one through the “Doctor on Demand” app for FREE!!! Hope this helps! :)

I’ve started to have sore nipples not so much on my left beast but my right is quite sensitive to touch it’s okay when wearing a bra or not wearing one it’s just when it’s being touched or lay on it, I’ve felt around and can not feel anything wrong but what could it be ?
I have seen the doctor for my nipple sensitivity an pain, an it is only there i have it, mostly before my period, i myself am pre-menopausal an have my periods whenever, an i also go through hot flashes but mostly from the neck up an i feel like i am burning up. They come an go i don’t have them all the time, an sometimes the pain does last atleast a month before, during an after a period. So i know it is nothing, did the mammogram an been checked, my mood swings are so so but i still maintain the stress an mood swings. I try not letting it bother me too much. Seeing a Doctor is a good thing, my nipples at one point did itch but that was when it all started now they are just sensitive, an painful. I found warm or hot compresses relieves this pain for a time but not always.
I myself am 48, mine started almost a year ago, it could be your age or an imbalance like they tell you at the top of the page. If you are around my age it could be pre menopause if you are younger definitely go to doctor. Or start drinking alot of water, i found that lack of hydration is what caused mine sensitivity in mine. And if you are a pop drinker you may want to slow down on those along with energy drinks. For you Kirstie hope this helps

I just turned 20 and have been married for two years now. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and I am not on birth control because I was told that I only have a 3% chance of getting pregnant. So i’m pretty sure im not pregnant. My nipples and breasts are so sore and they are kind of brown. I haven’t had a period since May 2013 and I have not ovulated since then either. I have done all sorts of research and I can not figure it out. I really need to find a solution because I am really uncomfortable and im not understanding the reason for this pain.
Hi… I understand your problem with poly-cystic…. I went to my gp and put me on birth control for 12mths to help regulate my cycles…. now its been a few yrs since then and its been regular…. however the boob sensitive its normal every now and then before your body is getting ready for the time of the month… I hope this helps…

I am 21 years old. My husband and I have been married 2 years and we have been having unprotected sex. I have been experiencing frequent urination, sore breast, I am tired all the time, and have nauseous times. I am only 2 days late from missing my period. Have taken 2 pregnancy tests and they have been negative DO u think I could still be pregnant I mean I’m assuming my best bet would be to go to a doctor and get a blood test instead of doing an at home pregnancy test right. We already have a 4 year old child but I was 7 1/2 months before I knew I was pregnant with him. I’m confused and nervous…

Hi,my name is Juleah and I am 16 years old and my nipple is killing me I can barely do anything and its started with my boob hurting then it moved to my nipple and it started yesterday before I went to bed. What is wrong I’m scared for my life?
Hi!
I turned 20 today
I’ve been having protected sex always though.. and once had a contraceptive because of what I had periods 15 days earlier than the actual date.
I didn’t have my periods the entire month.. hoping to have them soon.
And I am also growing little chubby might be because I am hogging too much being at home this summer. :P
Once during sex I had so much of pain outta the box suddenly just for 5 minutes though I am assuming it as gas problem..
But since then my nipples hurts when ever I wear no bra.
I am assuming this cause because of either late periods or no periods.
Or I am growing more and.
Might be i am pregnant.
But I am prettiest sure its not possible cause I always use protection.
Please guid me something understanding the entire situation.
Thank you.
Both of My nipple areas have been hurting for the past, say, 2 weeks. I’m only 18 years old, have the implanon implant birth control, and don’t have my periods anymore due to that. It’s really random so I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone prolonged like me?
I’ve been really stressed lately and I started working night shift. I’m late for my period and my boobs started to hurt yesterday. And people have been scarying me that I’m preg. Am I late due to stress?
My nipples have been hurting since yesterday and I don’t think it’s my period time or anything.. I’m only 18 and single what could this pain be?
I Am 38 and Almost 7 Months Pregnant. Every Day I Get Sharp Pains In My Nipples That Go through My Breasts. It’s Either One Or the Other, Never Both At The Same Time. The Pain Lasts Between 7 And 10 Mins. The Pain Is Sharp Like Pins Being Poked And It Is Very Painful Almost To The Point of Tears. I Have Talked To My Mid-Wife And All She Says Can Be Done Is To Get Some Lanolin or Nipple Cream But Says It Won’t Stop The Pain. Can You Help To Explain This To Me & Make The Pain Go Away?

I am on a birth control, implanon, and I do not have periods. My nipples have been so tender and sore, even to touch, and I don’t know if it is caused by PMS or what because I do not have menstrual cycles. I don’t believe that I am pregnant either or have breast cancer. Would any of these causes be associated with mine?
Going braless is solving breast pain. It brings the fluids to movement. And stops tbe pain.

I’ve been off contraception for a year now. I’m 21 and have been on the combined pill since the age of 15. I have polycystic ovaries and have never had regular bleeds. For the past two days my nipples have been SO SORE to touch. Even just a brush against them is too much. I have also had a white discharge from my nipples when squeezed. I was told that this is probably from being on the pill for so long.
I don’t believe I’m pregnant. But it could be possible. Yet to test. But I was just wondering if this was a normal occurrence between bleeds. due to PMS. But I’ve never had any forms of PM.
Any advice?

Is there anything that you can actually do to ease the symptoms? My nipples have been constantly hard, sore and in pain, and feverish. I’ve taken Tylenol and wondered about an antihistamine cream of some sort.
Just recently my nipples started hurting and I don’t know why, it’s not like a chaffing pain is more like a pain where the hurt if I touch them like very sore and tender, it’s not my whole boob that hurts is just my nipple.

My nipples have been hurting for about 3 weeks now. They are extremely sensitive, I can see new lumps between the Ariola and the nipples, even the bra hurts them, sleeping is a problem, my husband is off the breast area, and no one is allowed to hug me tight. I do pluck breast hair around the ariola area so I hope that did not cause me an infection. I also think of the possibility that new re growth hair may be causing me this pain. If pain continues this week I will go see a doctor. Any cancer possibility is scary .

my left breast started hurting all of a sudden one morning and I don’t know why, I sleep on my stomach most times and I used to have a nipple piercing long ago. the pain is “behind the nipple sort of, I can’t exactly pin point the area of the pain but it’s there.
Hey…so it’s just my left nipple that hurts and I just noticed how bad it hurt when I lifted my arm to move my hair out of my face. It”s been hurting for the past few days but I just thought that it was normal growing pains which from my guess it could be but after reading the symptoms of the pagets thing, I realized i had them all but really don’t want to worry about it. And being very self conscious about my body, being slightly over weight, I don’t want to go to my mom, being 15 I still live with my family of course, and I don’t really want to go to anyone because I’m once again very self conscious. I have tried pain killers but that really did nothing. I honestly am freaked out from reading this all. Couldn’t be I’m pregnant because I’m a virgin…so anyone who knows anything…please let me know..
